Five arrested in multiple shootings and carjackings in Greensboro

Two 18-year-olds and a 15-year-old were charged for their involvement in the shootings and carjackings in Greensboro.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Greensboro police arrested three people, including a 15-year-old, for multiple shootings and carjackings.

Officers responded to a shooting into a home on Huntley Court Sunday. The call came in around 12:45 a.m. 

They found several bullet holes in the front of the house. 

One adult and three children were inside the home during the shooting and were not hurt. 

Around 5:45 p.m., officers were called to a shooting at a home on Flag Street, just a few streets away from Huntley Court, where they noticed bullet holes in a car and the front of the home. 

One adult and child were inside the home at the time of the shooting but were not hurt. 

Greensboro Police Violent Crime Reduction Teams (VCRT) responded to these incidents and began a thorough investigation.

They discovered a carjacking at 3:55 a.m. on South Raleigh Street was related to the shootings. 

Officers began searching for the stolen car from this incident, believed to be the suspect car from the second Huntley Court and Flag Street shootings. 

A few hours later, the car was located in Ray Warren Homes. When officers approached the car, five people ran out. 

VCRT successfully arrested all five and found two guns.

  • Shooting in an Occupied Dwelling
  • Discharging within City Limits
